Perinatal Therapy
Compassionate support through pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
​
We offer perinatal mental health support in Carleton Place for individuals and families navigating pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, loss, and early parenthood. Care is gentle, trauma-informed, and tailored to your experience.
What is perinatal therapy?
The perinatal period can bring profound change, joy, and challenge. Therapy offers a supportive space to process emotions, adjust to new roles, and receive care during a vulnerable and transformative time.
Support may include pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, or relationship difficulties that arise in the perinatal period. Our therapists are trained and experienced in providing treatment that is specifically tailed to this season of life.
Who is perinatal therapy for?
Perinatal mental health support may be helpful if you are:
​
-
Experiencing anxiety or mood changes during or after pregnancy
-
Adjusting to new parenthood
-
Processing a difficult birth or loss
-
Struggling with sleep or feeding challenges
-
Navigating identity changes or relationship shifts
-
Seeking emotional support during fertility or postpartum
You do not need to be struggling intensely to seek support—early care matters.
Our approach to perinatal therapy
Our therapists provide perinatal care that is:
​
-
Trauma-informed and compassionate
-
Attachment-focused
-
Grounded in evidence-based perinatal mental health practices
Therapy is paced gently and honours your physical, emotional, and relational needs.
What to expect
Intake and Assessment
The initial session focuses on understanding your perinatal experience, support systems, and goals, while ensuring therapy feels safe and supportive.
​
Follow-Up Therapy Sessions
Sessions may focus on emotional processing, coping strategies, identity shifts, and strengthening support. Together, we may explore changing roles, relationship dynamics, expectations of yourself, and the physical and emotional adjustments that come with this stage of life. Therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and build practical tools that support both your well-being and your confidence moving forward.
Perinatal therapy locations
Sessions are available in our Carleton Place office, as an outdoor walk (with or without your baby), or virtually from home—offering flexibility and support during a season of life that doesn’t always follow a predictable schedule.
